I've had two sets of 100 watt fogs (a set of APCs and then, what I'd hoped was a temporary set of Sylvanias), both of which burned out within weeks. My stock 55 watters were still working when I replaced them. What I'm trying to do here is narrow down the cause - I also have my fog relay rewired to allow me to switch my fogs on without having the headlights on. Is it the rewire or the 100 watt bulbs?

 

The 100 watt bulbs.

 

Thanks, Kev. Is this a common problem? Can you recommend a good yellow or very white 55 watt bulb?

 

No prob. If you go with a higher wattage, usually the bulb will burn out quicker.

Look into the Raybrig bulbs (Metal White or White Thunder) or the PIAA Super Whites. I believe those are stock wattage.

 

I would go with the PIAA platinum h3 bulbs. They are purplish very white and light up the ground with a slight tinge of purple and give your car an hid effect on the ground. I followed my car down the freeway one night while me GF drove it and i drove my moms minivan and the ground infront of the maxima for the first 10 feet looks just like hids because they are so intense and purplish.
